QSR industry sees continued pressure on dine-in channel as delivery platforms gain ground

By

The quick-service restaurant (QSR) sector is facing a slowdown due to weakened consumer demand and a tough macroeconomic climate. A BNP Paribas India report reveals that listed QSR companies have recorded aggregate sales growth of 7-9% in recent quarters, a drop from the 14% CAGR achieved during FY19-24. Dine-in growth has also been limited, as food delivery platforms continue to gain popularity.

The report highlighted that while QSR chains quickly expanded their store count following a robust post-pandemic recovery, revenue growth has not kept pace with this expansion.

Quick commerce is on track to revolutionise the Indian retail market, with forecasts suggesting a gross order value of USD 10 billion by FY26, according to a CLSA report.

Driven by ultra-fast delivery and optimised last-mile operations, this sector is quickly reshaping India’s traditional food and grocery market. Currently, local small vendors dominate this USD 600 billion market, accounting for more than 95 percent of its share.

BigBasket to phase out slotted deliveries, merge BBdaily into main app

By

Tata’s BigBasket plans to merge its BBdaily subscription service with its main app in the next few months to enhance its foothold in the burgeoning quick commerce market.

At present, BigBasket runs two distinct apps: BigBasket for standard grocery deliveries and BBdaily for subscriptions. The main app offers both 2-3 hour delivery slots through BigBasket Supersaver and 10-20 minute delivery options via BBnow.

BigBasket is simplifying its services by merging all offerings into one app, moving away from the previously fragmented approach of separate divisions.
